6) Pedro (Chelsea)
Eventually signed by Chelsea, Manchester United missed out on one of their top targets this summer as Pedro left Barcelona.
7) Neymar (Barcelona)
Targeting another Nou Camp star, United made a very ambitious bid for Brazilian forward Neymar, though they were never likely to get him.
8) Arda Turan (Barcelona)
Strongly linked with United before eventually joining Barca, Arda Turan attracted plenty of interest while still at Atletico Madrid.
9) Harry Kane (Tottenham)
Linked with a stunning £45m move to United, Harry Kane was on the Reds’ radar this summer after some superb goalscoring form for Tottenham last season.
10) Hugo Lloris (Tottenham)
Another Spurs star, United looked at signing goalkeeper Hugo Lloris as a replacement for the unsettled David de Gea.
